Iranian FM due today on 4-day visit

The Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan, Mehdi Honardoost, has said while addressing a press conference here on Saturday that the Iranian foreign minister will undertake a 4- day visit of Pakistan from (today) 11th March.

The official also suggested holding joint trade fairs and exhibitions in order to facilitate the interactions and acquaintance of the two countries businessmen.
